CSS Vertical Menu

I found a website a while ago which had a really good example of both a horizontal and vertical css menu. The problem is I canít remember where or what it was called and I am now having trouble with the vertical menu.

The menu works fine in Firefox but in IE6 when you hover over a button the drop down menu doesnít flow down the page but goes across the page.

Does anyone know how to fix this??? If not where the navigation comes from so I can go back to the site and re read the information. Or finally a good example of such a menu I particularly like how it still highlights the top level menu as you scroll over the second level menu.

I have found a design I really like but have come to a weired problem when I have been modifying the navigation. It works fine in FF but in IE6 the dropdown menu bottom border extends further than the dropdown menu.

I have attached a picture to help understand the problem the top border problem is just how I have cut the picture its the extra border nextto the word Tremarctinae. Does anyone know a reason for this???

It certainly has for me. Nav buttons have constantly been a source of frustration as I just seem to battle every time I need to do them. Tyssendesign's thread is great and I am pleased to see that I have already got hold of the one he recommends as being about the best - Ultimate Drop-down Menu. I have used it although initially found it very cumbersome, but that it because it is so all-encompassing and flexible.

The article from List Apart is for me, for now, exactly what I am looking for. I have now created a Nav template which I can change easily as the colours, or even the actual nav buttons, change.
